Celebrity Catwalk proves an entertaining event at Tosside


C O M M U N I T Y spirit was in evidence at its best at Tosside Institute on Satur­ day. The village’s Youth


Committee performed a Celebrity Catwalk, in which "screen and music stars" each took a short tu rn on the specially- built tee-shaped stage. The youngsters organ­


appearances by a host of s ta rs such as James


ised and performed the show to boost funds towards the construction of a new institute build­ ing and raised £200. A full house enjoyed


Bond, Indiana Jones, The Men in Black, Sha- nia Twain and Elvis. Luke Skywalker


crossed light-sabres with D a r th Vader, Bill and Ben d is tributed daf­ fodils, and the Vicar of Dibley shared her orange chocolates with the delighted audience. The finale appearance


was by Cher, who brought all the young performers out to take a bow. Glittering in a slinky, gold lame evening dress, she looked suspi­ ciously like co-ordinator Mr Richard Schofield. After the perfor-

“REDISCOVER the countryside now that


foot and mouth restrictions are lifted” is the message from members of Clitheroe Ram­ blers’ Club. They have issued an

open invitation to join them on their reinstated programme of annual spring and summer Wednesday evening walks. The first of a planned


23 outings set off from Grindleton last week. A 25-strong party, led by Mr Ben Brown, ambled th re e -a n d -a -q u a r te r miles from the village, passing Greendale Mill to Green Lane bridle­ way, which was followed towards the pine woods on Grindleton Fell- Just before they were


reached, an undefined p a th over some rough ground was taken to


reach the walk’s highest point and its views over th e Ribble Valley towards Pendle. A downhill stroll took


the group to Grindleton Brook, which was fol­ lowed to Whitehall Bridge and a short uphill to the Top of the Town. The party then finished their walk with a descent to the village centre. The next walk will


take place on Wednes­ day, April 17th. Meet at Clitheroe’s Chester Avenue Car Park a t 6- 45p.m. The following week, meet a t 7 p.m. in Salesbury. For further information, contact Mr Brown on 01254 822851.


Action to remove mobile homes


ENFORCEMENT action will be taken to remove two mobile homes from the Stirk House Hotel, Gisbum. Members of Ribble


house staff temporarily. Two letters of objec­


tion about the plan raised concern th a t i t was improper for staff to reside in caravans and that they were unsightly. An officers’ report to


Valley Borough Coun­ cil's Planning and Devel­ opment Committee agreed with officer rec­ ommendations to refuse the retrospective appli­ cation. The 30ft. long homes were bang used to


committee said th e mobile homes were "inappropriately sited" and constituted "promi­ nent and incongruous features" within an attractive area of coun­ tryside.


Appeal for witnesses


POLICE this week appealed for witnesses to an accident which occurred last month. A cyclist received minor injuries when he was in


collision with a car in Waterloo Road, near the Royal Oak public house, a t around midday on March 8th.

mances, a draw was made to choose the Tos­ side Golden Jubilee Princess, which was won by Laura Robinson, who had earlier made appear­ ances as Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue. Master of ceremonies


Helen Owen then presided over a boister­ ous raffle, which was fol­ lowed by tea, coffee and home-made rakes. Mr Eddie Runswick


explained that the Tos­ side Institute Develop­ ment Team is preparing major bids to the National L o tte ry and other funds to rebuild the institute, as the pre­ sent hall is more than 40 years old and coming to the end of its useful life. He said: "The show is


p a r t of our ongoing fund-raising. We've got a


long way to go, probably another four months,


before we can apply." The village is now


preparing for other events, notably the Queen’s Golden Jubilee celebrations, which will include a sports day, bar­ becue and dance. Our picture shows


"stars" from the Youth Committee's Celebrity Catwalk outside the Tosside Institute prior to the show. (T070402/7b)
